Oreo Truffles

These are absolutely amazing. That said, they are not the healthiest, or the most complicated truffles ever. This has 3 main ingredients, and lots of varieties!

First, process the Oreos until they are crumbs. Next, blend in the cream cheese. Blend these 2 ingredients together in a food processor or blender. This is the easiest way to incorporate the ingredients. Next, roll them out into balls. The balls should be however big you want your Oreo truffles. The best size for 2 bites is about 1 inch in diameter. 

Place onto parchment or a silicon baking mat. Place in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. I put mine in for 24 hours because I didn't have time to finish them. This made the chocolate harden very quickly and made it even easier to dip them as they did not become squishy.

Stick a toothpick into a hardened Oreo ball and proceed to cover in chocolate, rolling off any excess. Voila! You have made Oreo truffles.

Enjoy!

8 oz.   Cream Cheese

40      Oreo Cookies

12 oz. Chocolate Chips

3 T    Shortening

In a blender, crush the Oreo cookies until finely ground. When ground, add the cream cheese and blend until incorporated. Form the mixture into balls and place on a non-stick baking mat or parchment paper. Place in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. 

Heat the chocolate chips and the shortening at intervals of 30 seconds until completely melted. I suggest melting a in tall cup to make it easier to dip the Oreo balls. Take the Oreo balls out of the freezer and stick toothpicks in the centers. Dip the Oreo balls into the chocolate, twirling to let excess chocolate drip off. Place back onto the silicon mat and let sit, or place in the refrigerator to speed up the process. These are great for sharing with friends, if they survive that long!
